Since we lost our contract at work, I've got nothing to do, so D&D it is.
I started working on an average rolls table, and a universal advantage formula.
The best source I could find online was that the average roll of 3d6 + 1 advantage d6 (roll 3d6 with advantage or 4d6 drop the lowest) was 12.24, so I worked from here.
Unfortunately it isn't 12.24. It's 12.2446, and because I didn't do the math to find out it isn't .24 I went on a wild goose hunt, convinced it had something to do with 6/25, which as a decimal is 0.24, and also include the size of the die being used, AND the percent of dice dropped.
Feels bad, man. This is why I let smart people like you deal with all the mathematics.

I am unruly in the stands (I am a rock on top of the sand) I am a fist amidst the hands And I make a wreck out of my hand (I make a fist and not a plan) And I break it just because I can

Suffice it to say, do the math.
